Book 1

School Survivor

by Greyson Mann

Published 7 March 2017
The launch of an exciting, hilarious new series narrated by an underdog every Minecrafter can relate to.

Gerald Creeper Jr. is a self-proclaimed pacifist (which, by the way, has nothing to do with a pacifier), but he finds himself in the war zone when he starts his first year at Mob Middle School. At his new school, every monster in the Overworld is jockeying for power, and the skeletons seem to have it out for him.

Armed with a 30-day plan (he can thank his mom’s self-help obsession for that), Gerald makes it his mission to use his brains—instead of his blasts—to survive the school year. It all starts with:

Day 1: Come up with a nickname. (Gerald is not gonna cut it.)
Day 2: Keep a low profile. (Not easy when your new best friend is a super bouncy slime!)
Day 3: Avoid being target practice for skeletons, and somehow get in with super-popular Eddy Enderman. (Easier said than done.)

The first book in this laugh-out-loud funny, heavily illustrated, diary format series for Minecrafters follows the most misunderstood hostile mob in the Overworld. It’s not easy being green . . . or explosive!

Book 2

Kid's Got Talent

by Greyson Mann

Published 22 August 2017
Gerald made it through the first few weeks of Mob Middle School in one piece (give or take a limb), even if his quest for popularity hasn’t led to fame and glory yet.

When he hears about the school’s upcoming talent show, Gerald sets his sights on a new plan: unveiling his hidden talents as a rapper. He can picture it already—kids will finally know his name. They'll beg for his autograph. Maybe he’ll even impress the super-popular Eddy Enderman!

But Gerald’s got some rivals for that top spot, not the least of which is a band of spider jockeys determined to keep a sixth-grader from winning the show. His sister is determined to blow him out of the water with her cannonball trick. Even his best friend steps up the competition with his slime-block trampoline.

In the second book of this hilarious, heavily illustrated, diary format series for Minecrafters, Gerald may win fame and glory—but what will he lose along the way?

New Kid at School

by Greyson Mann

Published 21 November 2017
Is a cool new kid as friendly as he seems?

Gerald is thrilled when a new creeper starts up at Mob Middle School. Finally, there'll be a mob to hang out with that isn't a bouncy slime or a flesh-eating zombie! With Connor by his side, Gerald starts his thirty-day plan to make creepers the coolest mob at school.

At first, Connor does seem cool. He seems to have endless amounts of emeralds for the vending machine. He figures out a way to get Gerald on the field trip bus, even though Gerald's parents didn't exactly give permission. And he plays pranks on Bones and his bony buddies that Gerald would have never tried alone.

But when Gerald's journal goes missing and his private thoughts and secret rap songs start spreading around school, Gerald wonders if Connor is behind it. He needs help solving the mystery surrounding this new mob. The only problem? Gerald's old friends are suddenly nowhere to be found. Is this creeper on his own?
